I hosted the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Brooklyn yesterday.
The annual event that they have because it's Make-A-Wish Foundation in Brooklyn yesterday, the annual event that they have
because it's Make-A-Wish Day in Brooklyn.
It was incredible.
There were two of the Make-A-Wish kids
that actually performed.
One of them, his wish had been to perform
New Year's Eve when the ball dropped,
so his wish came true this year.
Yesterday wasn't New Year's Eve?
Well, he did before.
Oh, on New Year's Day.
And then he performed yesterday also,
but that was what his wish was. Got you. Was it good? Yeah, it did before. I'm sure he did before. That was his wish yesterday. And then he performed yesterday also. But that was what his wish was.
Got you with the good?
Yeah, it was great.
I mean, I love seeing these kids that are so resilient,
the things that they've had to go through, some of them.
One of the young ladies, she actually had several blood transfusions
from when she was young.
And just to see her up there singing and performing and excited
and happy to be there and intelligent.
That's beautiful. And beautiful. It was a great thing to see. So anybody that can performing and excited and happy to be there and intelligent. That's beautiful.
And beautiful.
It was a great thing to see.
So anybody that can volunteer for Make-A-Wish, it is really something that feels fulfilling.
You know what's interesting about those kids?
Those kids make you realize that it's the little things.
You know what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
Think about the things that they be wanting that make them feel so fulfilled.
Right.
You know what I mean?
I just want to perform anywhere, somewhere, when the ball's dropping on New Year's Eve.
Yeah, so that was great. And the families
go through a lot. It's not the balls.
Just one ball. Who said balls? You did.
No, I did not say balls. You got balls
on the brain this morning, sir? No, sir. You got balls in your ears?
No, sir. But it's a lot on
the families, too, that have to go through so much
and watch their children go through a lot. So a lot
of wish kid families were there.
A lot of the volunteers were there.
People that work at the organization.
So shout out to Mamadity's Hospital, Brookdale Hospital, where Envy was born.
I was born in Mamadity's in Brooklyn also.

second black woman to ever have
a comedy special on HBO. Wanda Sykes is the first 10 years ago. That is very true, she's only the second black woman to ever have a comedy special on HBO.
Wanda Sykes is the first 10 years ago.
That is very true.
She's only the second.
And I would say one thing about Amanda Seales.
She does things her way.
Always has.
From the start.
Even when we worked at Sirius together, she does things her way.
And if you don't like it, she'll keep it moving.
She'll keep it moving.
Listen, Amanda Seales is in a quiet taste.
Yes, it is. She's a lover. Oh, you Amanda Sears is in a quiet taste. Yes, it is.
He's a lover,
oh, you hate her.
But she's a cancer,
so we tend to have
that effect on people.
All right.
Also, D-Ray Davis
will be joining us.
He's going to be performing
in New York City all weekend,
so we'll kick it with him as well.
He has a comedy special
that's been on Netflix
that's pretty funny, too.
All right.
And he's got two wives.
What?
Two wives.
I don't think he's married.
Well, two women.
Girlfriends.
Girlfriends. Right. Well, we'll talk about all that. And we got front page news what think he's married. Well, two women. Girlfriends. Girlfriends.
Right.
Well, we'll talk about all that.
Then we got front page news.
What are we talking about?
Well, let's talk about these unpaid federal workers.
Now, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had some advice for them.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, the All-Star Game 2019, the rosters have been released, and I'm confused.
Why?
I thought that they were going to take a captain on each side, and then they were going to
pick the players.
That's what I thought.
That doesn't happen anymore?
They do get to pick the players.
The fans vote the starting lineup, and then the captain gets to pick the rest of the team, right?
The fan who gets voted in.
But how do they have the conference set up already?
They pick the players already?
What are you talking about?
That's the starting lineup.
Oh, the starting lineup.
Yes.
Oh, I didn't know.
I didn't know.
That's what I'm asking.
Well, Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walken, the Greek freak,
Kawhi Leonard, and Joel Embiid will be playing on the Eastern Conference
and Western Conferences.
Curry Harden, James Durant, and Paul
George. How y'all ain't vote Dwayne
Wade into the starting lineup of the
Eastern Conference Finals when this is his last year in the league?
Jesus Christ. I thought he had the votes
at one point. He definitely should have been
voted in. He'll probably be
on the, I'm sure he'll be on the bench.
Yeah, alright. Well, what else we talking about, you?
Well, let's talk about this government shutdown.
When is it gonna end? We know it's already been over a month, 35 days. Well, what else are you talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about this government shutdown. When is it going to end?
We know it's already been over a month, 35 days.
Well, they're saying Donald Trump has no idea how he plans to end the shutdown.
He has no strategy.
Now, for weeks he's been saying the government cannot reopen until he gets money for his border wall.
He's also saying that if there's a reasonable deal, that he would be open to it with the condition of a prorated down payment for the wall. They're also saying that he's preparing a draft proclamation to declare a national emergency along the southern border and then identify more than $7 billion in potential funds.
So in case he has to end the government shutdown, he can declare that it's a national emergency. He said the massive amount of aliens who unlawfully enter the United States each day is a direct threat to the safety and security of our nation and constitutes a national
emergency. Now, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was on CNBC's Squawk Box, and he had this to say
about why federal workers shouldn't need to go to food banks. There are reports that there are
some federal workers who are going to homeless shelters to get food.
Well, I know they are, and I don't really quite understand why.
Because, as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake,
say a borrowing from a bank or a credit union, are in effect federally guaranteed.
So the 30 days of pay that some people will be out,
there's no real reason
why they shouldn't be able to get a loan. It's called being hungry. It's called living
check to check. It's called not having money. So you have to pay interest when you get a loan. So
now I got to pay interest on a loan that I have to get because I'm not getting paid.
All I know is Donald Trump, you got to wrap this up before Black History Month, right? We don't
need your little government shutdown
overshadowing our little
28 days that we get throughout the
year. Now, Florida's Secretary of State
Michael Ertel has resigned
yesterday, all because some photos
of him in blackface at a
party nearly 15 years ago were just
revealed publicly. He was at a private Halloween
party in 2005
and he's in blackface wearing red lipstick,
a New Orleans Saints bandana,
fake breasts, and large earrings.
Apparently, his costume was a Hurricane Katrina evacuee
who was a woman.
And now he's resigned once those pictures have surfaced.
I mean, he basically said,
there's nothing I can say.
Is that even worth an apology?
Can you even apologize for that?
He's going to say anything.
Just bow out gratefully from that one, buddy.
That's it.
We'll see you next Lifetime.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News.
All right, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night, or maybe you had a great night,
and you want to spread some positivity.
800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
You better have the same energy.
Hello, who's this?
This is Shanae.
Hey, Shanae.
Get it off your chest, mama.
Yeah, probably because of the government shutdown,
we were going to get a USDA loan for our house,
but because of the shutdown happening,
we can't get it,
and we don't have the $5,900 needed to get an FHA loan.
Oh, my gosh.
So our contract failed to run our house,
so now we have to stay in a neighborhood where people are shooting constantly.
Where you from, Mama?
Dayton, Ohio.
Dayton, Ohio.
How much is the property?
The property that we're trying to get is $118.
$118?
I'm so sorry to hear that.
And you're trying to get a HUD loan?
Yes.
Okay.
You stay on the line.
I got somebody that can do a loan.
Let me see how much that would be.
3% down.
Hold on one second.
I'm doing my math right now.
118,000 times 3%.
Yeah.
I might have a guy that can do it for about 4,000.
You can do a 3% loan.
You hold on the line, all right?
I'm going to hook you up.
I'm not guaranteeing it, but you said you're in the military?
No.
Oh, how was you doing the HUD loan then?
We were trying to do a USDA
loan. A USDA loan. How's
your credit, mama? Our credit is good.
Over $700 or over $600?
Over $700. Okay.
You hold on. This guy, he's
able to get loans where you put 3% down
as long as your credit is good and you have the
proper finances and you can pay that loan, he
might be able to help you out. I can't promise you nothing, but he usually comes through for people for me.
Okay.
All right, you hold on, all right?
You know what's crazy about the government shutdown?
The people who shut down the government don't even realize how they're affecting regular everyday people.
Because they so fat off the hog and they so rich and they so privileged, they don't even realize that everyday people like that are being affected by the government shutdown.
I mean, yeah, she had everything ready to buy her house, and they shut her down.
I mean, I got a couple of people in real estate.
I've been doing it for the last year heavy, and he might be able to help her out, man.
I'll cross my fingers.
I'll definitely send him a number.
Like, it's nothing for somebody like Trump to shut the government down.
He's rich.
You don't got to worry about anything.
And other people that just say, oh, just go get a loan.
You don't have to go to a homeless shelter. Like, it's that easy.
No, it's definitely not. Hello, who's this?
This is Fabian. Hey, what's up?
Get it off your chest. Yeah, I'm not really
mad, but I'm a little disappointed.
A little while ago, I put
a post onto Facebook on
a care of one stage page
with my family on Christmas with our
weapons and good trigger safety,
muzzle safety, and things like that.
And America kind of lit into us.
The picture went viral.
It was all over the Internet for a while, all over social media.
And it's a lot of people out there who had a problem with my black American
family on Christmas without weapons.
Wow.
What's wrong with practicing your two-way rights?
You have the right to bear arms?
Exactly.
I got the right to bear arms,
but it was in response to a white American who was out in the cotton field
with his family in response to the Gillette commercial holding weapons.
No one had a problem with that, but when I put my picture up there of my family,
everybody went crazy about it.
I've got to watch this Gillette commercial everybody keeps complaining about.
I haven't seen it.
The Gillette commercial, it really wasn't that bad.
The guy was talking about people raising over-masculine children
and just blaming them on boys will be boys.
And it's not a bad commercial, but the white guy responded,
I raise my kids the way that I want to.
And Calv on stage was like, yo, what are you trying to say?
I mean, I raise my kids the way that I want to too, but hey.
Exactly, but I wouldn't say that in response to a commercial, you know,
telling America, hey, stop raising your kids to be part of this rape culture.
Oh, got you, got you.
And just blame it on boys to be boys.
You know, and you put on that, well, I raise my kids the way that I want to.
Oh, so you agree?
And then you're supposed to picture with your family holding guns in a cotton field?
I got you.
So that just sucked.
And then when I posted my picture, everybody was at me.
I'm like, come on, really?
Hey, man, I'm a 2A type of guy, so.
Yeah, I am too.
You know?
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, my name's Ye.
Ye, turn your radio down, bro.
Get it off your chest.
Yo, man, I've been bang on, having my bed a different way to pass.
My wife don't know, man.
I've been doing a little tracking and having the bed
and stuff like that.
Bruh, I ain't understand
what you're saying.
What the hell you saying?
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
Man, you know,
I'm from downtown, man,
so you gotta bear with me.
Downtown what?
He said down south.
Oh, I'm from down south too,
but I still ain't understand
nothing you just said.
I said, I said, oh.
Hey, hey, hey,
hang up and tweet us. Yeah, yeah, tweet us. Hey, hey, hey, hang up and tweet us.
Yeah, yeah, tweet us, tweet us, bro. Hang up and tweet us.
I don't get on Twitter. I ain't got no Twitter.
Damn. You got Facebook, Instagram, something else?
Instagram. Ah, yeah, hit us on Instagram, bro.
Yeah, man, because you need to come with subtitles
because I don't understand nothing you're talking about.
All right. All right, bro.
He said, all right. I heard that.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
I let one go.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, man. How you doing, Envy?
Hey, what's your name, bro?
Hey, Envy, my name is Jay, man.
Jay, hello?
Okay, we hear you, bro.
Envy?
Yes, sir.
My name is James, briefly.
James from Brooklyn.
Let me say something to you.
Brooklyn.
Listen, I don't work like some of these people work,
you understand?
But I got a little job.
Now, I'm just so tired of these damn white folks coming on TV talking about they got to go to a shelter to get a little cat food.
They've been working 30,000 years.
I understand it's a shutdown, brother.
But let me tell you something.
You speak to an advisor, I tell you, when you work 10, 15 years, you got to have six months of money saved to put away, man.
Some of these folks, they just bulls**t.
Okay.
Hey, man, it's easy to say
that you should have six months' money saved up,
but people live in check to check, bro.
But you gotta start saving somewhere, bro.
They got bills, they got loans, they got rent, mortgage.
People just bought cribs.
It ain't as easy to save money as people think.
You gotta be bringing in
a whole lot of money to save money.
Yeah, you know how long it took me to finally save some money?
Sheesh.
You're 100% right.
One more thing.
So why you say that then?
I had all kinds of student loan debts that I had to pay off.
That's crazy.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you got six months saved up?
You don't.
Six months and over.
Okay, well, congratulations.
Well, that's good for you,
but the majority of people don't have that.
I understand.
I respect it.
Chris Brown needs change.
Chris Brown needs change. Chris Brown needs change
of people that he surrounds himself with.
He's going to continue down the same road
and he's going to feel real bad.
Chris Brown didn't do anything
and the girl allegedly didn't even meet him?
No, no.
I know he did not.
But eventually, continuously?
I can't.
Eventually what?
I can't.
Your hypotheticals are wild.
Did he just tell you? Hello, who's this? I can't. I can't. Eventually what? I can't. I can't. Your hypotheticals are wild.
Hello, who's this?

Hey, India. Get it off your chest, mama.
Oh, okay. Uh-oh.
First of all, okay, I got a cousin of mine
that I don't really mess with,
but I got a brother staying with me, so he came
to visit him, and
I'm a third-shift worker, so I get up, and first of all, his service deck broke in my driveway, so he blocked me in.
Number two, I woke up, and he's changing his oil in my damn grass.
He's changing the oil right now in your grass?
Yes.
No, not like right now, like this morning.
Yesterday morning when I got out of work, first of all, he left his truck there three damn days.
And that's country, sir.
Keep in mind, yeah, keep in mind, he never asked could he leave his truck there.
I just woke up and it was in my yard.
Hold on, did you say he changed your oil?
He changed his oil.
No, he changed his oil.
Who is he?
He is my cousin, but I don't fool with him.
Like, I don't fool with him. Like, I don't fool with him.
He on another side.
I can see why.
I can see why.
Well, you need to tell your cousin that if he going to be changing oil on your lawn,
the least he can do is check and see if your car need an oil change, too.
Well, see, you know what?
And I wouldn't even appreciate that, but you need to ask me, could you change your oil?
You done had your truck in my yard for three days, bro. I come get your truck. And now he done messed up your good old grass.
He messed up your good old grass with that black oil.
Tell him if he don't come get that truck, you're going to have it towed. Yeah, you know what?
I'm starting to be a real black person and let my dog outside on me.
Why do I got to be a real black person?
My goodness.
All right.
Get it off your chest.

That hasn't been
mentioned yet.
Oh, boy.
All right.
Birdman surprised
Toni Braxton on stage
even though they're
broken up.
He showed up to her show at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, and he was seen offstage supporting her.
Then she got very excited.
They had a very long embrace, if you guys saw those pictures, and then disappeared backstage.
So I don't know what happened, but they have broken off their engagement, so maybe now things are back on.
All right, Charlamagne was seen on Bernie Sanders' Facebook page talking about mental health and the black community.
African-Americans are 20% more likely to experience mental health problems than the general population.
Here's what he said.
Nine years ago, I just got fired for the fourth time from radio.
I was back home living with my mom in South Carolina.
I just had like the worst panic attack of my life.
I've always had panic attacks, anxiety attacks, like my whole life. I just had like the worst panic attack of my life. I've always had
panic attacks, anxiety attacks.
Like my whole life, I just didn't know what they were.
Everything's supposed to be all good.
Like, you know, finances,
success, people good.
Like you think everything's all great, but
it's not. You still have those panic attacks and you still have
that anxiety. So that's what made me
finally say, you know what, let me go
get a handle on this. Salute to Bernie Sanders.
Invest in your mental wealth, people.
Did you ask him if he's running for president?
No, we did that a couple months ago, actually.
Oh.
Yeah.
All right, now Selena Gomez, speaking of anxiety, has a song out now.
It's called Anxiety.
She recorded it with singer Julia Michaels, and I'm sure you can guess what it's all about.
Here's a little snippet for you. It's true.
That was a dope little record.
I might download that.
Sounds good.
It's actually Julia Michaels' song,
but this is Selena Gomez's first music that she's put out
since she's gotten treatment for her anxiety last year.
It sounds like it'll make me happy.
You got to listen to it.
It sounds really powerful. I might listen to the whole thing'll make me happy. You got to listen to it.
It sounds really powerful.
I might listen to the whole thing.
Give me a little Baby Shark vibe.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your... Just a little bit.
What is a Baby Shark vibe?
Baby Shark, Shark, Shark, da-da-da-da-da-da.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
All right.
Selena.
All right, all right.
Shark, Shark, Shark, da-da-da-da-da-da.
That song don't make you happy.
That song makes me happy.
How many times do you have to hear it?
Me and my three-year-old be jamming.
I'm tired of hearing that song.
That song is always on the rise.
It ain't about you.
You right.
Okay.
You right.
Yeah, we got Front Page News next.
What are we talking about?
Yes, let's find out why this whole entire family got kicked off of a flight.
I don't know whose side you'll be on, but I'll tell you what happened.
All right, we'll get into all that next.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Smart-ass. Smart-ass deli worker.
What happened?
What happened? Oh, you know, every morning I order
my protein shake and my freshly
squeezed orange juice and my bottled water
from the deli
up the street, and he gonna send me back
the receipt with our
new intern, Sim. Talk about
give this to him because he should know how much
it is. He gets it every day. You do get it every
day. It should be the same every day. Well, today I sent
$14, okay? I spent
$18.50, alright? I spent
every day with you, alright? That's the least you can...
You still gave me my stuff, though. Freddie.
Alright, thank you, Freddie. My goodness. I appreciate you.
Let's get in some front page news.
Drinks for mucus.
Thank you, Fred.
There you go.
What are we talking about, Yee?
American Airlines removed a family from a plane
and that plane was headed from Miami to Detroit.
They were concerned because one of the family members
actually smelled really bad.
Yassi Adler is his name.
Now, he said that he, his wife, and their daughter
got off the plane, but they recorded the encounter
and they said that American Airlines staff removed them because they're Jewish.
Now, according to people on the plane, though, and the pilot and everybody, they said that it was just really bad, the body odor that they had, that he had.
And he said, you have to calm down.
Now, according to Yossi Adler, he said he has eight kids at home and he said, we don't have odor.
Nobody here has odor.
And the official asked him, you told me for religious reasons you don't shower.
Is that what you said?
And Adler replied that he does shower daily.
You think that somebody should be removed from a plane because of their odor?
Yes.
Yeah.
And also, here's the thing.
A lot of times we don't smell ourselves.
You know what I'm saying?
I think about all the times you've been a little funky, but you didn't know you was funky.
No, you knew you was funky.
Yeah, I don't.
No, I don't think so, man.
Sometimes people don't be knowing they be having a little odor to them.
Like, if you have sweaty armpits, you know.
I know.
It depends on...
No, that ain't true.
But sweaty armpits don't mean that you got odor.
She didn't say you.
All right, calm down.
I'm just kidding.
She didn't say you.
All I'm simply saying is yes.
Relax before you start sweating.
You know I've been getting deodorant since I've been
all week since that Soulja Boy interview.
You know what the problem is? You probably just had a
you didn't have an antiperspirant.
I don't even know what that is. There's a difference between deodorant
that makes you not perspire and deodorant that makes
you not smell and some of them have both.
Soulja Boy just made you nervous. Never.
Why would I be antiperspirant? No.
Antiperspirant is a type of deodorant that stops conspiring.
Do you use the crystal or something?
Hell no.
Do I look like I used the goddamn crystal?
You did that day.
I mean, I know I love Erica by doing Jill Scott's music and flow at you,
but I don't use the crystal.
You never used it before?
Never.
You lying.
I ain't never been natural.
You seem like you tried it one time.
I've never been a natural ass nigga, okay?
All right, an apartment on Central Park just sold for the highest price ever in the country.
Do you know how much that is?
How much?
$238 million.
That's the most expensive home in the United States.
Who bought that?
Ken Griffin is the person who bought that home.
Who is that?
It's not even a home.
It's an apartment, by the way.
It's a 24,000 square foot apartment.
He's the founder of a Chicago-based hedge fund, Citadel, and he has a net worth of $9.9 billion,
according to-
Geesh.
I love New York, but nah.
Ain't no way in hell.
How much money?
You don't even get no grass.
$238 million.
No way.
I'm sure there's some grass there somewhere.
There's no backyard.
There's no trees.
I'm sure he has some type of rooftop with grass on it, okay?
For an apartment?
Yeah. I gotta see this place.
That just don't even sound right, though. Something about
that don't sound right. $230 million
for an apartment? That ain't really... Well, it's four stories.
It's 24,000 square feet.
And it's off of Central Park. Is that a full basketball court, they said?
Never mind. Is that his or that's the building's?
It's his. I'm sure he has his own private.
You don't think for $238 million
you have your own private basketball court? You never know
in New York. Is that his or is that the building?
He has his own treadmill and he has to share with the rest of the kids.
You're selling his story wrong.
You should say he bought four stories.
He bought an apartment inside of a building.
If you see the building, it's a whole building.
He didn't buy the whole building.
It's one apartment.
One apartment is four floors.
That building doesn't look that high.
It's the top of the building.
Yeah, see, that's different.
See, when I think about all the apartments that I've lived in in my life, okay, when
you buy four floors, that's a different type of game right there.
Okay.
For $230 million.
I'm not doing it.
We know.
We know you ain't doing it.
I'm not doing it.
We know.
But clearly, Ken Griffey has the money.
Griffin.
Ken Griffey.
What's his name?
Ken Griffin.
Who is Ken Griffey?
Ain't Ken Griffey somebody? He's a baseball player, not him. Ken Griffin got the's his name? Ken Griffin. Who is Ken Griffin? Ain't Ken Griffin somebody else?
He's a baseball player, but not him.
Ken Griffin got the money, clearly.
All right.
And breaking news, Donald Trump's longtime friend and the person that they say is the one that got him into politics.
Roger Stone has been indicted on seven counts. count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements, and one count
of witness tampering and special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible collusion between
Russia and the Trump campaign.
So he is due in court in Fort Lauderdale later today.
I love the wall that Roger Mueller is building around the Trump administration.
It's amazing.
He also has a 2016 Netflix documentary called Get Me Roger Stone, which focused on his
They got him his political career.
They got you, Roger.
He was only 20 years old.
He was the youngest person back then to testify in the Senate Watergate hearings.
And he also has a tattoo of Nixon's face on his back.
What's that?
What's that?
The hundredth person who's been arrested from the Trump administration so far?
How many people is it now?
I don't know.
Six or seven?
A lot.
More than nothing Wu-Tang.
You think so? Absolutely. Alright, I'm Angela
Yee and that is your Front Page News.
Alright, now when we come back, Amanda
Seals will be joining us. We'll kick it

Amanda Stills
is back.
Lift every bone.
Welcome.
Hi, guys. Good morning. Good morning.
How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? Honestly, I was like,
I did this whole press tour and I was like, I can't wait to go, you know, to the record store and hang with the fam.
Well, good.
Well, listen, I just want to say I went to your screening, and when I tell you the audience was going crazy, like we were in the actual comedy show.
People were singing along.
People were jumping up out their seat.
So congratulations, Amanda.
That's huge.
You're only the second black
woman to have a comedy special on HBO?
Who was the first?
Wanda Sykes. 10 years ago.
Well, I didn't get invited to the screening or the
taping, so I did see it.
You were invited to the screening.
And you are actually who this comedy special
is intended for. I was not invited.
Yes, you were. No, I was not.
I specifically said to them, you need to invite everybody from the breakfast club.
Well, they just invited Charlamagne and Yee.
That's not true.
I don't think that's true.
I didn't get invited.
That's not true.
I'm going to tell you what Envy's problem is because we all got a screening ahead of time.
Envy's like, I didn't get a screening.
And then he found it.
Oh, so here we go.
Well, I see it.
That's the truth.
I did watch it.
Oh, you did see it?
Like the 27 and Zena?
I did see it.
Believe it.
Yes, I did.
That's how he just learned a Negro national anthem. I didn't. What? Yeah, I did. Like the 27 and Zenas? I did see it. Believe it. Yes, I did. That's how he just learned a Negro national anthem.
I didn't.
What?
Yeah, I never learned it.
Where do you learn a national black anthem?
Watching my special.
That's true.
That is true.
You have three black children.
Get it together.
I'm going to tease them.
Yeah, I'm going to tease them after I learn it.
Yeah, get on it.
Also, like, there's Google now, so there's no excuse.
That is true.
So tell us about the special.
How did you prepare for this special?
Was it already written? Was it things you've been writing for the special. How did you prepare for this special? Was it already written? Was it things
you've been writing for years? Or how did you
go about this one? Well, this is my first special
so I really kind of, I didn't have like a process.
I didn't really know, you know, how
I wanted to go about things.
Stan Latham directed it. Stan Latham
you know, directed Beat Street. Stan Latham
created Deaf Comedy Jam and
Deaf Poetry Jam, which I did
with him when I was in college in 2001.
And what's funny is that we shot Deaf Poetry Jam
in the same place where we shot my special.
So it was very, like, you know, personal.
But Stan really helped me to figure out my process
because I just kind of was flying blind
and just kind of guessing, like, how I'm supposed to go about this.
And I thought, okay, I'm going to, like,
be very, very sharp and very specific and I'm going to like be very very sharp and very
specific and I'm going to get very surgical with it
and he was like nah spread your wings
like so basically when I was doing Caroline's
I did five shows
and I did a different hour every
show. Really? You did a
different two hours on some nights
I thought you'd do
like 90 something minutes
You changed your set setup every time.
Yeah, like I basically, like let's just say for argument's sake, like there's six bits in an hour.
I would have 12 bits and like rotate, you know, and so different formulas.
But I just also knew that I wanted the special to be specifically like loved and appreciated and honored by black women specifically.
So then that became the kind of like overhead of what made it and didn't.
I'm sitting next to Michaela, Angela Davis and Beverly Bond at the screening.
And when I tell you they was standing up, screaming, talking to the screen.
That's the kind of special that is where you end up talking to the screen.
Paris is sitting with me and she's like, yes, oh, my God, girl.
Yes. Oh, that happened to me.
Yes, that's me. Because it's a yes. Oh, that happened to me. Yes, that's me.
Because there's a lot of things
that have happened to us
that we watch.
And even men,
certain things y'all won't be
able to relate to.
Like how our period surprises us.
Just sit there and clap.
Every single month.
Okay, that's all you got to do.
And I was checking out.
You learn.
As a man, you learn a thing.
That's what you was saying.
You were like, yo,
it's a learning experience.
I got put on to some stuff
I did not know about.
I'll definitely keep log receipts at the house just in case.
I've never used a receipt, but you got to watch the special to see what we're talking about.
I've been knowing you speak on how you sometimes have to explain your blackness to people.
Do you feel like we have to explain ourselves to white people?
So one of my friends from high school
who's white was was at the taping and he was talking to my mom and my mom was like oh you
know charlamagne you know charlamagne is here you know charlamagne knows my my daughter knows man's
and he was like wait i don't know charlamagne and like at that moment charla walks by and my mom was
like charlamagne tell him i'm the friend cory you know tell him what by. And my mom was like, Sharla, man, tell Amanda,
friend Corey,
tell him what you do.
And Sharla was like,
I don't tell no white man
what I do.
Whoa.
I can't explain myself
to white people.
I'm sorry.
This must have been
after the special.
Yo.
Exactly.
And my friend's face
became your color.
Like, I don't think
he's still recovered.
Like, oh, man.
I didn't mean it
in a disrespectful way.
Yes, you did.
I just don't feel
comfortable explaining myself. But I had the same situation with Larry King. I was oh, man. I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way. Yes, you did. I just don't feel comfortable explaining myself.
But I had the same situation with Larry King.
I was on Larry King, and he was like, I haven't, I was like, why haven't you watched the special?
He's like, I don't watch special.
I don't watch things before I interview about them.
And I was like, what is that?
But that is his thing.
He always says that he doesn't, like, prepare for interviews.
He just.
That's not a shtick.
It's just unpreparedness.
Yeah.
And I was like, you know.
He said that up here.
I was like, really?
That's, I don't know. Stop. That's disrespectful. Thank you. And he was like, no know, he said that up here. I was like, really? I don't know. Stop.
Thank you. And he was
like, no, because you got to sell it to me. You got to
sell it. And I was like, I ain't selling nothing to a white man.
And I'm making sure to stay here
just in case they cut it.
We're not doing that.
What was his response?
He was like, hmm.
I feel like at that moment he realized this is a different interview than I expected.
I should have watched the special.
I should have watched the special.
He was like, you are a very good interview.
Intriguing.
So it's not really explanations to them.
It's more of, this is us.
This is my thing.
This special is not like a demonstration.
I really feel like there's been times
where I see people be like,
you know, as black people,
it's our responsibility
that we have to educate white people
or else how can we expect things to change?
And I'm just like, no, it's your choice.
I do not feel it is our responsibility.
You have to remember,
we live in a nation
where it was literally deemed criminal
for us to be educated.
So for us to now then be expected to educate the offspring of those whose ancestors were imprisoning us,
killing us, maiming us, raping us for becoming educated is absolutely ridiculous.
At this point, I end up having to explain my blackness to other black people.
Like that's been going on in my comments.
Crazy.
You know, like you light skin.
You ain't really black.
Like you, your mother's from Grenada.
You ain't really black.
That sounds so crazy.
You're not the descendant of slaves from American shadow slavery.
You're not really black, which is false.
But even if I wasn't like they're saying this while they have like red,
black and green hearts, you know, or RBG
in their profile.
I'm like, do you know where that came from?
That came from Marcus Garvey,
the creator of the UNIA and the Black
Star Line. Who was Jamaican. Who was
full, but full Jamaican.
Wearing an admiral's hat, you know what I'm saying?
Which is some Jamaican s***, you know what I mean?
Like, I'ma just be out here with this and you gonna rock with it.
People will argue that I'm not black because I'm half Chinese and half black.
You're black and East.
But you're not black.
And I'm like, yes, I am.
My whole life, I've always identified myself as a black woman.
I'm grown.
Like, I'm black.
All right, we got more with Amanda Seals.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Amanda Seals, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Amanda Seals is in the building.
Charlamagne, are you happy this week?
Why are you asking me that?
I'm just asking.
Are you not happy?
What are you trying to say?
Some weeks she's happy, some weeks she's not?
No, Amanda's always Amanda.
I'm not saying I'm wanting to know, is she, are you enjoying the moment?
This is a celebration.
Why would he ask that?
Because he knows me.
I mean, happy is a strong word.
Oh, boy.
You know me, too.
All y'all know me.
You should be happy.
I know, but it's like a weird.
All your cancer starts kicking in.
Y'all gonna make me cry on here.
You can't tell her how she should be feeling.
No, I asked her.
I didn't tell her.
It's like you not.
Oh, I am going to cry.
You're a cancer.
It's okay.
Girl, let it out.
You're on the breakfast Club with your family.
No, it's true.
Those are tears of joy.
Yes.
It's true.
It's not.
It does feel weird being here.
There's a tissue right there to your left.
I haven't been emotional until like this second.
F*** you, Nick.
F*** you.
No, because
I just remember being here
and being so lost
and just like
really like really lost
like not knowing
how I was gonna
like figure this all out
and make it make sense.
And so
to just like be at a place
where it does make sense
and where like I don't
Yes, I'm happy.
Yay!
We're happy for you too. We're happy yay we're happy for you too I just think about the whole entire like
I mean look me and Embi we knew you
as Sirius and that was a
ugh
you were a rocky road
all the way through
but that's why like when I
see people come
for me about stuff like,
you only getting put on because you light-skinned.
No way.
You're like, I was light-skinned before.
I'd have been put on then.
I'm like, yo, like, I'd rather you say you got put on from sucking s**t,
like, which I didn't.
Why would you rather that?
Because that seems more, because that's like, at least, because,
I mean, I don't know if that's. That seems more practical.
Like, in the game we're in.
Like, I mean, you know, for what it's worth.
How many people have sucked that good that they really got an HBO special?
I feel like you just sucked the right.
You know, it's picky.
Charlamagne, who did you suck?
But no, not an HBO special.
And that's the thing.
It's like.
That's not going to happen.
What I really hope is like you watch the special and at the very
least you're like, yo, I don't like her
but she does what she does.
I gotta ask this. Being that
your comedy is based on real life experiences,
how many people have been like,
was that about me?
Was that my matches on the floor
that you were talking about?
They already know.
Their matches on the floor.
I have a part in the special where I say the ways that you were talking about. They already know. Their match is on the floor. They already know. I have a part in the special
where I say the ways
that you can get struck
from a vagina.
And each of those scenarios
are true scenarios.
They all know who they are.
The first one is somebody
all of y'all know.
Uh-oh.
Somebody all of y'all know.
Shots fired.
Do they call you?
Nah.
They know better.
Ain't no old guys calling back now?
Are they black?
Because you hot out here.
No, now it's new.
Now it's like DMs with emojis.
You know, like a googly eye or a flames.
A flames.
You know.
You get anybody back?
Yeah, because I'd be curious sometimes.
But the one person that I actually got excited about, like who had dropped in my DMs, I basically like manifested two years ago.
I was like, this person is going to eventually fall into my DMs.
And like he did, we had a conversation and I talk about this on my podcast, Small Doses.
Like within the first conversation, he's like, when are you coming to Boston?
I was like, well, I'll be there February 23rd.
For my show.
And he was like, no, I need to see you before that.
Easy B.
Easy B!
Easy B!
But yo, real rap,
real rap, old Amanda
would have felt
honored by that. Old Amanda would have felt honored by that.
Old Amanda would have been like,
he want to see me so quick. Like, oh my gosh.
Like, you know, new Amanda
with the wisdom and
the security of self is like,
why is a man I ain't never
met before so
pressed off of one
conversation for me to come see
him? Well, I can't call it pressed only because...
It is pressed.
But no, listen, I'm going to tell you why.
You're the same person who didn't understand
why it was toxic for Offset to show up on stage.
Oh, no, no, you're right, you're right.
No, I didn't, I just, I asked you.
But we'll get to that.
Now, we got to talk about that.
But the thing is, he watches you all the time.
So he probably sees you all the time.
He feels like he knows you.
So even though that's your first conversation, in his mind, he's like, no, I feel like I
know her a lot.
So I really want to see her.
Was it only a DM conversation or did y'all even talk?
So we started on DM earlier that day and then we got on the phone.
And nah, like, oh, it's Lea Rose, player.
Like, get out of here.
He's pressed.
That's pressed.
That's pressed.
That's pressed.
Y'all got to do background checks. I'm not necessarily saying, like, filing, you know, background checks, like, get out of here. He's pressed. That's pressed. That's pressed. Y'all gotta do background checks. I'm not
necessarily saying, like, filing, you know,
background checks, like, where you're looking for if a n***a got
arrested. No. Ask around.
Right. Ask around.
Like, there has to be a network. And honestly, like,
men do the same. Like, everybody. Like, you gotta, because
people are wild out here. People are
wild. Do background checks.
I was telling
my right-hand homegirl about it and who works with
Smart, Funny and Black. And she was like, I think he hollered at my homegirl. She texts a homegirl.
You remember this dude? What's his story? Her homegirl literally replies, ass. We were, we,
we talked a couple of times on the phone, on FaceTime. She lives in New Orleans. He had to come out here for work.
He said, let's get up.
Let's meet in person.
They'd never met before.
And she said that when she got to his hotel room so that they could meet to then go eat dinner, he opened the door butt-ass naked.
Whoa.
Every woman in this room went.
Now, that's a little pressed.
Damn, that's pressed.
He opened the door.
He felt like, I'm going to get that. So he opened opened the door and she was like
and she said that he
tried to make her feel like she was tripping
and was like yo I was just taking a nap
like why are you wiling right now and she was like yo
get out of here boy like get out
then she left and
I like
gave a little bit more information on this
person in my podcast
I have had four women hit me and be like this is who I like gave a little bit more information on this person in my podcast.
I have had four women hit me and be like, this is who you're talking about.
They say him by name.
And I texted him and I said, it's a small world.
He didn't hit me back for two days.
And when he didn't hit me back the second day, I was like, let me just tell you something.
You could be all the Rhodes Scholars and you could have all the scrubs but when you are opening the door butt ass naked
to women who have not encouraged that
behavior it makes you no better
than a jack in the d*** on the 2 train
to Harlem
stop the predatory behavior
stay up and anybody who knows me
knows that when I say stay up you're dead
damn alright well
Amanda Seals is here
800-585-1051.
When we come back, we got more with her.
Don't move.
And no j***ing off on the train.
I hope you're not j***ing off on the train listening to this interview.
All right.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That's right.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Amanda Seals is in the building.
Her special comes on Saturday at 10.
Yee.
One thing I want to say as a black woman that I love about your special is that you really
show how women can be sexual but still be intelligent.
Sometimes people feel like those two things can't lay together.
Oh, honey, there is a ho-tep no-tep out here who has a whole video.
I call them ho-tep no-teps.
Okay, ho-t them Hotepnoteps. Okay, Hotepnoteps.
Who has a video on YouTube about how I am not sexually attractive.
Who, you?
Correct.
What?
I appreciate your surprise because, yes.
How I am not sexually attractive because I have opinions.
Wow.
Actually, no.
Let me correct that. Is it a dude or a chick?
What's the name?
It's a dude.
And the videos,
first he starts this thesis
about that I'm just
not physically attractive.
Like, let's just address the facts.
Like, Amanda Seals
looks like a man.
She's not physically attractive.
Not true.
None of this is true.
All of this.
None of this is true.
He's another individual
that y'all know.
I think you may have even
had him up here before.
And I have to say, just before you finish,
I was watching your special.
Like, Amanda looks so beautiful on the special.
What the hell was that?
Everything, your makeup, your hair, your outfit.
Write it down.
Yeah, I'm not going to give him no burn.
And I appreciate you saying that
because I think also, like, comedic women
are expected to, like, be in a hoodie, you know,
and like, oh, you're distracting from the jokes
if you are attractive.
That's stupid. But that was something that was so wild because at the end of the video, it really came and like, oh, you're distracting from the jokes if you are attractive. That's stupid.
But that was something that was so wild because at the end of the video, it really came out like she just always be talking.
It's like, oh, that's your job.
That's what it is.
You mad because I am saying something that is counter to what you're saying.
And that makes your d*** soft.
But the Cardian offset thing, right?
Because I think this is a teachable moment.
Because when I saw the situation on social media I didn't comment on it I just was that's all the reaction
and people were like oh this is wrong you know he's invading our space and I'm like really
so I'm like yo sis you know I got what I'm doing we call one of my home girls because to me I just
look like a brother trying to get his girl back that is what you were seeing but in the worst way
first of all let me just say this I don't know the inner workings of their relationship Yeah, that's like a brother trying to get his girl back. That is what you were saying, but in the worst way.
First of all, let me just say this.
I don't know the end workings of their relationship.
I don't know either of them personally.
And for that situation, it becomes toxic when the person who has brought the toxicity to the scenario wants to control the scenario.
That's the reality.
That's the most simplest way I can put it.
You knew what you needed to do to keep cool.
Then you didn't do it.
You don't get to control my reaction to it.
That's the truth.
That's the absolute truth.
You have to sit down.
That's the truth.
There's no but.
There is a but.
No, you got to sit down.
You got to fall back. What's interesting is people weighing in.
There's a way to fight.
You're right.
There's a way to fight.
And that's the thing.
There's a way to fight for your relationship.
The first way to fight for your relationship is to not f*** up your relationship.
That is true.
Because a lot of people determine fighting for their relationship as fighting for forgiveness.
Correct.
Don't fight to get me back.
Fight to keep me.
Word.
Correct.
So there's that.
Because then you start that cat and mouse crap.
And a lot of women get tricked into thinking, well, look how bad he wants me.
If he wanted you, he wouldn't have even put you in the situation to have to try and wrangle you
back into the scenario.
But I am sure
in that situation
Offset was probably
trying to call Cardi
and she wasn't answering
She wasn't ready.
He doesn't get to determine
when she's ready.
You're absolutely right.
But at that point
he was desperate.
He was like
this is me trying to hit a home run.
Talk to a friend.
I think patience is important.
Your desperation
has got to do with
the reality of the situation.
And your desperation
is about your ego. Your desperation is like But If one of reality of the situation. And your desperation is about your ego.
Your desperation is like...
But...
If one of these guys that messed up on you came to one of your shows and interrupted
the show while you were on stage...
That has happened.
That has happened.
So what was that like?
Sat in the front row.
It throws you off.
As a performer, that s*** is mad disrespectful.
You're right.
That s*** is mad disrespectful.
And as someone who is also a performer...
But it works sometimes.
Why do you keep buttons?
Shut up and learn something.
I don't know the inner workings of this scenario.
They might be back for reasons that we don't know.
I'm just talking in relation to myself.
In relation to just what a healthy exchange is.
Advice for guys in the future.
Don't try this yourself.
And people will tell me,
Why are y'all listening to her?
She's single.
I'm single because honestly,
we live in a society
that is so riddled with toxic behavior that you most of us who are single are single because we
decided that we don't want to be a party to that and you got to wait till someone comes around that
also is not interested in being a party to that and if you want to break patriarchy at this point
you got to be intellectual and you got to be brave and that's just not taught on a daily basis. And you gotta be willing to
unlearn all the bulls**t that you've learned. That's brave.
Yeah. You gotta be brave to
risk, like,
okay, I'm gonna look stupid for a little bit.
Yeah. No one wants to do that. People be
in my comments. Whenever they're in
my comments in a negative way, it's about two things.
One, you know, you
ain't really black. Two, why are you friends with
Charlamagne? those are the two
things that every day every day you out here doing specials but you thought you think Charlamagne is
special like they would come with their idea of like what they think is the facts and whatever
like I know what I understand to be the facts but I also feel like and we i feel like we've talked about this before cancel culture is a real thing but redemption culture i feel like should also be a real thing
and you have to allow people to demonstrate to you that they are willing to change and i think
that's the part where we take people back to quick you know i told you the other day, you made me cry like at least twice without knowing.
He was like,
my bad.
You did say I apologize.
Why'd you make him cry? Because he was a d***.
And he used to really just say
d***.
Y'all laughing.
He's been working with me for nine years.
I mean, because you used to, and this is the
thing, like, and a lot of folks are like this.
Like, they have their own insecurities.
So that gets deflected onto you.
And they'll say s*** to you that is just not necessary to be said.
But they'll see the insecurity in you and then pull it.
And then, ah.
What was Charlamagne's insecurities?
Charlamagne's insecurities?
You tell me.
I don't know what your insecurities were.
Besides small penis. But you were. But you saw my insecurities. What? What insecurities? You tell me. I don't know what your insecurities are. Besides small penis.
But you were,
but you saw my insecurities.
What?
What did you say?
Wow.
Well, you know the size
Envy likes.
I never saw no insecurities
in you.
You literally saw
that I was,
so like, for instance,
when we were doing
Hip Hop POV,
and I was talking about
like wanting a man
and how like
it just wasn't turning,
it wasn't working out.
Most people would have been like, it'll work't turning, it wasn't working out. Most people
would have been like, it'll work out.
You'll find the right guy.
You'd rather be single
than with a terrible partner.
I hear across the table over breadsticks
and Alfredo sauce at Olive Garden was like,
nah, you ain't gonna get no man.
Nah.
Nah. You ain't gonna get no man
because you got too many opinions
but that's why you was
cool with them
whole type of s***
and I'm glad to see
that that has since ceased
I was a f***ed up person
I know
but you were f***ed up inside
yes
but you
he still is a little bit
everybody is
but you gotta do the work though
but you gotta do the work
and it takes time
it's not an overnight
it's not an overnight process
but I feel like
when you see people
committing to the process
you don't gotta be in the game with them,
but it's at least worth being an encouraging force.
Okay.
I think it's only appropriate that we close with the black national anthem
since you need to know this by Saturday night at 10 p.m.
Yes.
Would you like to lead us?
We'll try to keep up.
We'll try to keep up.
We know three lines.
Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Double clap.
Let our rejoicing rise high at the listening skies.
Let it resound.
Clap for all B.
Let the rolling sea.
You sound like my wife at the special.
You all B.
He doesn't stop it.
Sing our song.
Full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought on us.
Facing the rising sun. Y'all should have let me do it alone.
Let us march on
Till victory is won
Don't worry, by Saturday we'll have it.
Did I even look it up?
See, I just remember my name.
10 p.m. HBO.
Their singing was offensive to me.
Amanda sounded great.
Y'all's singing was offensive.
That's why I said lead.
He was like, we in the back.
We in the back.
We the ushers.
We even in the club.
Amanda Seals.
Saturday, 10 o'clock.
Thank you for joining us.
I'll be knowing on HBO.
Thank y'all for having me.
Follow me on Instagram, Amanda Seals.
Listen to my podcast, Small Doses.
Check out smartfunnyandblack.com and look out for merch dropping.
They said this slick can get blocked.
Blocked and blessed.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey.
Hey.
You're a horrible friend.
I just want to tell you that.
Happy Friday.
I am a great friend.
No, you're a horrible friend.
First of all, I'm a cancer, okay?
So I can be your best friend or your worst enemy, but I am a great friend.
That's why I have the same friends for years. She's never going to find a man. First of all, that was like 10 years ago. What does that mean enemy but I am a great friend. That's why I have the same friends for years.
she's never gonna find a man.
First of all,
that was like 10 years ago.
What does that mean?
You're still a horrible friend
for saying that.
And I don't even
remember saying that.
That wasn't 10 years ago.
That was definitely
at least 9, 10 years ago.
You haven't even been
on the show 9 or 10 years.
I knew her before that
but that was definitely 9.
That was at least 9 years ago.
But where'd you do that show
while we were up here?
Hip Hop POV was probably 2011
so that was what?
Seven, eight years ago.
It was 2019.
About eight years ago.
I don't know.
That was about eight years ago.
You're a bad friend, regardless.
Whatever.
You know, that was two presidents ago.
No, it wasn't.
Two presidential terms ago.
You know how long eight years is?
Eight years is high school, college.
You were still a messed up friend by the time of that.
It's okay to just say sorry.
Say sorry.
To Amanda. I already apologized. You were still a messed up friend by the time of that. It's okay to just say sorry. Say sorry. To Amanda.
I already apologized.
You know what?
Why do you look like you're about to catch a pass in football?
You know what?
Rumors.
Let's get into the rumors.
So, Chris Brown.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to him.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Chris Brown has officially filed a defamation lawsuit against the woman who filed a rape complaint against him.
He's accused of false accusation committed on January 18, 2019 in Paris and not prescribed, provided for and punished by the French Penal Code.
So he was released from custody. No charges. Two days after being accused, he is still investigating the incident.
But it doesn't look like there's much right now. There were no lawsuits filed against him.
He is challenging the charges against him. And that's why he has filed that defamation lawsuit.
Now, Eve is under fire for some comments that she made on her show, The Talk. Here's what she said.
It's like, when are you going to stop and grow up and allow
the talent to shine through and fix your brain? Like this is ridiculous and I'd like to hope that
these aren't these allegations aren't true. Obviously we don't know but at the end of the day
times have changed. If you guys don't know that yet whether in America or overseas get your act
together. Like you can't be treating women how you want to treat them in any kind of
way just because you think you're a superstar.
It's just not, it's just not the way
to be. And it's just sad.
Man, I just really hope he gets some help.
I'm confused by all of that, because if you don't know if the allegations
are true, then why are you talking like they're true?
You can't double talk on a situation like that.
If you don't know if the allegations are true, leave it at that.
Because you're talking like you just know he was guilty.
You told him, grow up. You said men can't treat women any old kind of way, which I agree with, but you don't know how Chris was treating this young lady at that she was wrong for that because you're talking like you just know he was guilty you told him grow up you said men can't treat women any old
any old kind of way which i agree with but you don't know how chris was treating this young lady
or if he was treating her at all well team breezy of course hopped in and she has since kind of
backstepped on her original comments here's what she said at first i didn't think what i said was
harsh but then i looked back at it and it was kind of harsh but it was only harsh because i'm
passionate about about the state
of the climate that we're in right now with women my passion wasn't geared towards Chris Brown and
these specific allegations it's just that we were talking about him and I think I got upset about
all the other feelings that I've been feeling about this whole climate you know and like I said
before I didn't know if those allegations were true or false and they are not true.
And he has been released and I just
want everybody to know, obviously I'm rooting for him.
Whoever was offended, I apologize.
Alright,
so you accept her apology?
Yeah, of course. I'm just saying
but you know, if you think a little bit before
you talk, you won't be saying things that you
have to apologize for because you can't double talk on
a situation like that. If you don't know somebody, if you have to apologize for because you can't double talk on a situation like that.
If you don't know somebody, if you don't know whether somebody is guilty or not,
then you can't come to all those conclusions like she did.
All right, now Netflix is developing a Resident Evil series.
Are you here for that?
Based on the horror video game franchise Resident Evil, obviously,
it's in its early stages, but they're saying this will expand the Resident Evil universe and deepen the existing mythology.
It will explore the inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and how
the outbreak of the T-Virus came to be.
That's just early stages,
but that is something that is in development
right now at Netflix.
Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your
Rumor Reports. Alright, Charlemagne. Yes, sir.
Who you giving that donkey to? You know, for After
the Hour, I really want to talk about the
hands of God
and laying hands on people, okay?
There's a pastor in Charleston, South Carolina, who had illegal use of the hands.
Oh, boy.
We'll talk about it.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Donkey of the Day is coming up.
Don't go nowhere.
The Breakfast Club.
You get Donkey of the Day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You get Donkey of the Day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne
to tap them gloves. Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was gonna be on the donkey
of the day. They chose you.
The breakfast club, bitchy.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Donkey of the day for Friday,
January 25th goes to
a brother by the name of
Rashawn L. Wilson.
Now, Rashawn is 35 years old, and he's a pastor at
Southside Baptist Church in my birthplace of Charleston, South Carolina. Drop one of Clue's
bombs for the 843, damn it. The holy city. Now, I love pastors. I really do. I love people who
have committed their lives to the Lord and who have devoted themselves to spreading the gospel.
Pastors can get you closer to the healing hands of God, okay? The healing hands of Jesus. See, hands are very
important, okay? God's hands are always on us. We take for granted, you know, hands. You know,
think about on a wedding day when a father takes hold of his daughter's hand and passes it to the
minister, and the minister's hand represents God's hand. And then the minister takes the woman's hand and joins it with her husband.
And it symbolizes giving her to God and God giving her to her husband.
You take somebody's hand in marriage and you ask that God keeps his or her hands on your union.
The hand to hand isn't just used in the physical sense.
No, we use hands as a metaphor for action, care, and possession, okay?
God uses hands.
Think about all the times in the Bible we read of Jesus' healing through laying his hands on people, okay?
Sick people or even just touching them with his hands, okay?
Mark 6, verse 5, or Mark 8, verse 23, if you want to look up some good healing hand scriptures, all right?
Jesus has put his hands on people to bless them.
Jesus told his disciples that their hands would be used to heal the sick.
People were healed through the laying on of their hands.
Okay, others got them hands put on them and got filled with the Holy Spirit.
I received gifts through the laying of the hands.
Tory Lane's hairline was restored because of Jesus' healing hands.
Listen to me.
Listen to me!
That didn't happen like that.
I'm sure Pastor Rashawn L. Wilson knows the power of God's hands all too well,
but God's hands don't got nothing to do with what Pastor Rashawn L. Wilson's hands did.
Okay, see, Rashawn Wilson used his hands for the absolute wrong thing.
All right, we always have a choice to either submit to the God in you or the devil in you.
Pastor Rashawn decided to hand his free will over to Satan.
Let's go to WCSCTV for the report, please.
A Charleston pastor arrested after police say he strangled a woman pregnant with his own child at a downtown church.
Pastor Rashawn Lamar Wilson was charged with domestic violence of a high and aggravated
nature. He was given a $20,000 surety bond, issued a no contact order with the victim,
and has been told he cannot leave the state. Court documents say the victim went to drop off
their children to Wilson on Monday night at Southside Baptist Church on Buffane Street when
the two got into an argument. The documents say Wilson squeezed the woman's neck until she was unconscious, fell to the ground, and hit her head.
Rashawn, Pastor Rashawn, strangled a woman on church grounds, his pregnant baby mother.
Crazy. In the church and on the football field, we call this illegal use of the hands, okay?
Colossians 3.19 says,
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh to them.
I don't know why I'm telling you this scripture, Rashawn,
because I'm sure you know it,
but I don't know why I'm telling you this
because this news report said that you choked out
the pregnant mother of your two biological children.
The pastor got baby mama, but who am I to judge, okay?
All I know is that this week at Southside Baptist in Charleston,
the collection plate is going around at least four times.
You're going to have tithes.
You're going to have offerings.
The building church fund, even though the building ain't been fixed on in years.
And the pastor.
Pastor got lawyer fees.
Can I get an amen?
Amen.
Amen.
No, not for that.
You shouldn't give the pastor no goddamn lawyer fees.
What's wrong with y'all?
For all members of Southside Baptist Church in Charleston,
please pray for your pastor, Rashawn L. Wilson,
because he can't pray for you right now, not at the moment,
because Jesus is using his hands to send all Pastor Wilson's prayer requests
to his spam folder.
Please give Pastor Rashawn L. Wilson the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
That was a holy hee-haw, by the way.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, when we come back, comedian D-Ray Davis will be joining us.
He's going to be in town performing over the weekend,
so we're going to kick it with D-Ray.
He's going to be at Caroline's Comedy Club here in New York
for all you out-of-towners that might be here this weekend.
All right, so we'll kick it with him when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
He's keeping our light-skinned brothers alive out there.
He the only one?
He's one of them.
He's one of them. Oh. He's one of them. He's one of them.
Oh.
He's one of them.
He's leading the charge.
Brother Z-Ray Davis.
What up?
What up, sir?
How are you, man?
Life for life.
As you're talking.
Is it tough?
As you're talking.
Is it a tough time for comedians or is it a good time for comedians?
I can't really tell.
They're going to say it's a tough time.
They ain't got no jokes.
Yeah.
You say it's a tough time, but if you're able to adapt to anything, you better adapt to anything.
Now, if you're saying what you can and can't say, it's always been that line, what you can and can't say.
You know what I mean?
Has it been told?
It depends on when you say it.
Like, if a person just got out of the hospital because their mom died, you're going to be like, your mama just died.
I mean, that's a different.
But as far as just saying what you say, I was thinking about this yesterday, what to do.
I was like, this is going to sound crazy, but who invented these words you can't say?
Like the F word, the R word, like words you can't say.
Somebody said it first.
What's the R word?
Somebody said it first.
Like for slower people.
Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you.
But somebody said it first.
What's the R word?
Kelly.
No, I'm kidding.
That's the new R word right there.
Now, see, to the parents at home, that wouldn't be funny right now.
You're right.
You're right.
All the women.
All the women.
And some are going to not be playing to somebody all the time.
Not all the women because some women still hit.
Well, no, the women are the victims.
Yeah, because some women hit messed up jokes all the time.
I think it's funny.
Sometimes you need that energy of somebody saying something super negative to you for you to do better in life.
Like, if you're sitting around and I'm trying to make you laugh just because you just lost your job.
You just lost your job.
And I'm like, you know,
it's going to be better, bro.
Make sure you focus on life more.
And, you know, you can get a better job.
It's them dudes around you.
But then you got your niggas
that make you laugh.
If he call you, you be like,
you ain't got no job, huh, my nigga?
You take it differently from him
than you would a bum on the street
saying, you like me now, you know?
It also depends on what you want to do in life, too,
because I think there's some stand-up comics
that if your aspiration isn't
like, you know, like Kevin Hart to host
the Oscars, he said that was the aspiration of his,
or if you're not on a major
network, got your own TV show, you can get away with a lot more.
Like what Corey
says, Corey ain't gonna never let off how he
talks. That's just how he talks. He's not gonna
be president as of right now.
Let's say, you know, he could be by the way it's going now.
But he don't care about that kind of stuff.
But don't hire Corey and then get rid of him because of something old he said.
You shouldn't know what he said.
That's what he said.
But women do it all the time.
Men do it all the time.
You be with somebody, you knew her past, knew she was a history until you see the dude.
She's like, I used to mess with this.
This huge, used to tear my brain, tear me apart.
It's cute when you first date for the first three, four months. Then you run to the dude. She's like, I used to mess with this. This huge, used to tear my brain, tear me apart. It's cute when you first dating for the first three,
four months. Then you run to the
and you're like, oh, you still like
him?
It's like anything else, but what I was
saying as far as the words go is, whoever
invented the words, they brought power to the
word. Then we said, all right, it's a hard word.
I just think we need to change the words. Make up your own
words now, and then nobody
can say you being mean because nobody knows
what that word means. Like what?
Give us a word. I had a
one yesterday where somebody said somebody gonna know what it means.
I thought I had a word but it
ended up somebody said. It wasn't
a real word but somebody said nah
so it was a word. So instead of saying like the R
word you'd be like oh he a little A-Town. Something like that.
I like that. A-Town's a
person. Yeah.
But, yeah, we're saying can you say a person, too, but you can't.
Yeah, it's like seeing the Asian people be like,
look at all these Jackie Chan's driving around.
It still feels a certain kind of way when you say it.
You know what I mean?
So you got to think of a word that nobody said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel you.
Like if a girl's a hoe or whatever, you won't say she a hoe.
You'll be like, she a bottle hider or something like that.
You'll be like, what?
A bottle hider?
What is a bottle hider?
What is a bottle hider?
When was she a hider? You'll a bottle hider? Where was she hiding?
You're like, damn.
I only ever seen guys hide bottles.
But if you say it once, if a guy's a bottle hider.
I haven't seen some guys hide bottles.
If a guy's a bottle hider, see, you're saying he might be.
Where's he hidden?
You get it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, and, and.
There you go.
He's a bottle hider.
I like that.
But who can say that you're saying something mean when you invented the word?
You're right.
Yeah, you're right.
And if you're on the down low, you call him a bottom hider. A bottom hider. Yeah. But no, not too close. I like that. But who can say that you're saying something mean when you invented the word? You're right. Yeah, you're right.
And if you're on the down low, you call him a bottom hider.
A bottom hider.
But no, that's too close. Too close.
No, too close.
No, okay.
Like, look at the shh over there.
Like, quiet.
Look at the shh.
Look at the shh over there.
You know, because you got to.
I guess that's close.
I don't know.
It's not a hard time, but I feel like if you wouldn't adapt for the moment, because everything
like that happens, it's always something happening.
Even with the black movies coming out.
Let's get into it.
Some strong movies coming out with strong black leads,
strong black women coming out.
You got Little coming out.
Yep.
And that's a strong movie.
Who else in there?
The young girl from Black Is, she's executive producer.
Right.
And Big was out.
So if the white people saw it, I'm like, why y'all take our movie?
We'd be like, because if they make juice, we're going to be pissed off.
That's a fact.
But, but, I'm saying, right, but just like when they made The Honeymooners.
No, but when they did The Honeymooners with Seth and Mike Epps.
Great concept.
But white people was like, that's our movie.
Because if the white people did Good Times, we'd feel a certain kind of way.
But we need these strong movies to show that transition if we're trying to move that way.
So I'm willing to make my comedy go a different route
if it can get more littles and more what men want.
Because that was Mel Gibson and now Taraji,
which it's even funnier to me that a woman would do it rather than a man.
Because I never thought Mel Gibson's was good,
but conceptually I think this is better.
So I'm willing to take that L with comedy
to be like, oh, I'm going to step back and not say this
right now because it's opening another
door. Because we couldn't even have this conversation
back then if people were able to say what they want to
say all the time. Because they'd be like, who are these women
thinking they could take, you know?
I can't wait to see that movie, What Men Went, and I was thinking about
this just yesterday. Would I want to know
what men were thinking?
Right? Like, would that be something that I would even want to know what men were thinking? Right? Like, would that be something
that I would even want to know?
You know anyway.
Women enforce the thoughts
in our minds
whenever they want.
Y'all can manipulate
any situation
when you feel like it.
I'd be talking to, like,
my boyfriend
and he'd be thinking
about something
completely different
and not listening to me.
Choose.
Listen, can you imagine
what the Me Too Time
movement would be like
if women could hear
what men are thinking?
Oh, my goodness.
No men allowed
in workplaces ever oh my goodness because i mean half the day man i mean a lot of my day i don't
know about i know you you're married man so it's a different a lot of my my mind my mind travels
my mind travels huh you're taking as well yeah i am taking i'm taking but they don't mind if i'm
looking at some if i'm on my twitter or instagram liking a picture but i can't get mad if they like
a picture either.
I've been more open to that lately.
Yes, where?
I used to be like, what the hell?
Now, take it, I went off last night about a photographer with my young lady who models.
I went off and said, the degree of the angles in which he was shooting you is uncomfortable.
She's a model.
I know, but the dude was focusing on certain parts.
And she was like, no, I want this.
This is my want.
This is my look.
And the way we've talked, you already explained to me how you feel about things.
So if you see something, I've made a decision based on what I want.
So I had to be like, oh, that's shit.
You can't even argue with that, you know?
But I am.
But she also don't mind me looking at porn.
You know what I'm saying?
I look at porn a lot.
On a plane, like scrolling. I try to buy the seats around me. You can't look at porn a lot. On a plane, like scrolling.
I try to buy the seats around me.
You can't look at porn on a plane. That's rude to everybody.
What if they glance at your phone?
That's why I buy the seats next to me.
My people was in my seats.
They eyeballs all in my...
What kind of porn do you look at?
What category?
It ain't no category. It's on Twitter.
Oh, you do Twitter porn. Okay.
Yeah, I don't look for it.
It's part of like every other one.
It's like preachers.
Why do you follow so many porn sites?
Follow Bishop T.D. Jakes, Stephen Furtick.
I follow them too.
Call it.
It come on right after that.
It's cool.
It works out.
Okay.
Balance.
All right.
We got more with comedian D-Ray Davis.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have comedian D-Ray Davis in thee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian D-Ray Davis
in the building. Charlamagne. Chicago
Tribune, your hometown newspaper,
back in December, said that your comedy style
is stuck in a sexist time period.
What do you think about that? You know, it's weird.
They don't say that about me in particular.
I did my shows, by the way.
12,000 people showed up to them. Sold out
three shows by myself. Promoted it,
financed it, everything, brought my brothers out
you do that every year, right?
been doing it since I was 19 years old
paying n****s since I was 19
he talking about collectively
let's say he was just talking about me
I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to be the n**** in the car
with all the dope and the guns in here
I'm going to take full blame for everything everybody said that day
I'm going to do that
let me get a red
you ain't got no choice, you can't go me get a rest. Let me get a rest.
Well, you ain't got no choice.
You can't go back.
You go back.
You gone.
So you're in New York too?
You out of here, man.
I'll say that we're in a sexist time
and sex is the heightened thing
to talk about.
Last year,
they just said,
oh, all this coverage
about Trump
because that's what was on,
that's on the menu.
This year,
sex,
the R. Kelly shit, everything about sex is on the menu. This year, sex, the R. Kelly shit,
everything about sex is on the menu.
The Me Too movement, I was talking about
that. And I just found a directive to talk
about it. And if somebody who has a weak mind
won't understand what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say
I get it. Certain things you just can't talk about
anymore. You're talking about Kev.
At this heightened time, the LGBT
community is something super sensitive
when he can't talk about it.
Everything.
Back in the day, it was handicapped.
You're talking about somebody handicapped, they was like, oh, you're going to hell.
And living color had a whole handyman sketch.
But not, yeah, and to us, it was like, oh, my God, it's crazy.
Like, this is crazy to talk about, but now handicapped don't matter.
You could have a walker trying to get cross-street.
They'd be like, oh, get out of the way, a handicapped person.
Be like, I'm just handicapped.
Like, is you gay, though? like, I'm just handicapped.
Like, is you gay, though?
No, I'm not.
Hurry up.
Get your ass out of here.
Because gay is above handicapped now. Right.
It's important.

It's important.
It's important. Men on film. Dandy men. So that's how we were raised. So I talked about it. We talking about it. We talking about the Me Too. We talking about the Time's Up and sex and what you can and can't say.
So I get them saying I'm sexist because I said the women, I don't know how much air.
I don't want to keep getting bleeped or whatever.
But I said I know the women that want to f*** because I set it up to know who want to f*** me.
And then I said to avoid rape is real simple.
F*** who want to f*** you.
That's simple.
There's no, I mean, you can't put it on t-shirts, but it real simple. F*** who want to f*** you. That's simple. There's no, I mean, you can't put it on t-shirts, but it's easy.
F*** who want to f*** you.
Then there's no issue.
We never did nothing wrong.
There wouldn't be no Bill Cosby, no nothing.
You know what I mean?
And Bill Cosby, everybody talked about that.
But last year was real funny.
And it's not that funny this year because he in jail, J.
And now it seems like people feel sorry.
No, they don't feel sorry.
But you're like, oh, s***.
No, you're like, oh, s***.
Everything's tumbled. Like, it's really f***ing happening. Like, hey, but you're like, oh, s***. No, you're like, oh, s***. Everything's tumbling.
Like, it's really f***ing happening.
Like, hey, put the cuffs on the old s***.
Get out of here.
Everybody's dad is in jail now.
Everybody's dad in jail.
Even if you had a dad, he's better than your dad, and he's in jail.
Prisoners.
Bill Cosby.
He earned it, though.
He earned that jail sentence.
And the n***a had the bread.
He had the bread.
That makes it scary.
He had the bread to not have to do none of that.
Ever.
It's a sickness and it's a power thing.
For the right amount of money, a bitch will act sleepy.
Well, you can't say bitch, D-Ray.
For the kind of women who would take the money for that situation, I could say it.
I'm not agreeing with you.
Yes, you can.
You trying to tell me I can't say a bitch.
Oh, you can't tell me.
Look at all them bitches over there thirsty for that bottle. Yes, you can. But look at tell me I can't say a bitch. Oh, you can't tell me. Look at all them bitches over there thirsty for that bottle.
Yes, you can.
But look at the young ladies dancing on the dance floor.
Look at the young ladies at the bar purchasing those drinks.
Look at those queens watching a sip of my beverage.
Look at those.
Maybe you need to make up another word for bitches.
That's your own word.
Nope, nope, nope.
Look at those.
With this word, I will not move on.
Look at those.
Look at those queens with those far seats they bought at the basketball game.
Oh, look at them bitches down there.
How they get them seats.
How them bitches in the third row,
they ain't got third row money.
How this bitch on the floor.
You know when bitch don't stand up
and say something,
me and my girl say it to each other.
We be like,
bitch, what you doing?
I know, you ain't that.
Oh, if a dude walk past,
oh, y'all bitches crazy.
Who you calling a bitch?
Who you calling a bitch?
I know, it should make sense.
You know what,
you can get your woman out,
you can say it though,
you can't say it.
If my boyfriend called me bitch,
I would go off.
Not true.
He would never do that.
Not true.
You won't go off.
Oh yeah, I would.
Trust me, he'll never even try it.
Let me tell you something.
I won't bullsh** you, Angelina.
You're one of the baddest bitches
I've ever seen in my life.
I'd be like, women, thank you.
No, I just said it already.
You said it.
I said it.
Said it already.
All right.
Well, Caroline, this weekend.
And is there anything else?
Because you're always in a TV show.
Oh, yeah.
A game show on Empire.
Please.
I blew a game show recently.
I ain't going to lie to you.
Went to a meeting and my iCloud got hacked.
What?
I went to a meeting. Hour after my iCloud got hacked. What? I went to a meeting
an hour after my iCloud got hacked and I thought
it was like, D-Ray was over.
What was in the iCloud? Well, just basically
it's for other people. It's never for me.
The only time it's not for me, like I wouldn't mind
to say it, the only time it's not for me is I wasn't feeling my
best that day. Like, man, because if a couple
you know what I'm saying, I'm missing an inch or something
because I ain't, you know, I didn't really, you know, my angle
off with my stomach sticking out.
Hold on, the network pulled up your eye cloud?
No.
No, he was a little thrown off.
I was thrown off, so I was sitting there.
My phone was going off, so the dude was having his meeting,
and it was money, too.
And you're looking, and you're more concerned about what's going on.
Dude, about your sex tape.
Because I'm like, yeah, but more about the other people
that I should have not even had it no more.
Sheesh.
I got you.
I shouldn't have even had it on my phone.
So an old sex tape is going to come out.
No, no, no.
Plus, you can't really put on nobody's sex anymore.
You'll get sued for it.
You really couldn't even do it back
then. A lot of times, we think them tapes leak.
No, they sold them to those companies.
Kim, Ray J, all of them.
Go back to somebody who was hitting you up.
I don't know what's on it
because when I call Apple, which by the way, if you don't have a two-factor ID thing, they can't do nothing for you.
Nothing.
That's that person iCloud now.
But what they did do is they stayed on the phone after realizing who I was, and they said, hey, I'm going to tell you like this.
For some reason, your phone, for the last five phones you've updated, has not been uploading to your iCloud.
So whatever's on this iPhone 1, it's like 236 pitches.
He's like, it's like maybe 30 videos.
And I was like,
I'm thinking in my mind,
what 30 videos
from the first time
when I was talking about this?
And it wasn't,
in my mind,
it couldn't be too bad
because it had been out.
Like I had hosted stuff,
it had been out.
Somebody would have seen something.
But bottom line is I blew the gig
and I should have focused in
on the gig.
Gotcha.
But yeah,
as far as hosting goes,
but I am back on Snowfall.
Who don't care about a sex tape?
Mm-hmm.
Uh, FX. Are you in the head of a sex tape, D-Ray? I'm a murderer Snowfall. Who don't care about a sex tape? FX.
Are you getting ahead of a sex tape, D-Ray? I'm a murderer on that.
No, I've been getting ahead of sex tapes since when I fall asleep and your girl got your phone.
I'd be like, look, this is what might happen.
I don't know what this bitch sent herself.
You're right, though.
That's why you can't film yourself and save it when you didn't do your best work either.
Yeah, but you know what?
I'm great at not having my face exactly in it.
It could be any **** stomach.
That's Ray Davis. Sex tape*** stomach. D.A. Davis.
Sex tape coming soon.
Darylize.
Thank you for joining us.
The sex tape is coming soon.
Not his best work.
I'm going to drop my s*** on the same day as Duvall Alba.
I'm not playing.
I'm going to do the Kanye 50 cent move on this one.
Name your smile, bitch, too.
My goodness.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Pull up. Good morning. Pull out. Pull out.. It's the Breakfast Club. Pull up.
Pull out.
Pull out.
Pull out.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Nas.
It's time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, yet another great investment for Nas.
Now, let me give you some backstory before I tell you about this Nas-invested company that just got sold, okay?
Back in last summer, PillPack, it's a door-to-door pharmacy service that he backed with his venture capital fund,
was acquired by Amazon for $1 billion.
Now, Amazon also acquired the smart doorbell company Ring that he also invested in,
and he made $40 million off that deal.
And he also placed investments in companies like Genius, Lyft, and SeatGeek.
So, Notch has been killing it with his investments.
That was his whole set, smarting up Notch.
Notch really smarting up.
He was like, okay, you want to see my work?
Well, Viacom has now acquired
Pluto TV,
which is a Nas-invested company
as well,
and they paid $340 million
for that.
So there's 100 channels
and thousands of hours
of on-demand content,
sports, movies, news,
lifestyle, comedy, cartoons,
gaming, trending,
digital service,
all of that.
So another check for Nas. Yeah, you know, when I first, cartoons, gaming, trending, digital service, all of that. So another check for Nas.
Yeah, you know, when I first saw that headline yesterday, it was on Hollywood Unlocked.
I spoke to my man Jason Lee, and the headline said,
Nas signs the Viacom for $340 million.
That was some clickbait.
As somebody who's been signed to Viacom, I said, get the F out of here.
That's impossible.
There's no way in hell.
And then I went and saw that it was actually the deal, that deal right there.
All right. Alright, well Nas
also then posted on social media
I need a wife-wife after that news
broke. Why you need a wife-wife?
As you can imagine, okay.
I wouldn't trust no women. They went crazy
when they seen that post. No.
All these deals that Nas got all
this new money. Who can you trust at this point?
Can he thirst trap if he wants to? Oh, you're right.
That's what it was. Yeah, that's at this point? Can he thirst trap if he wants to? Oh, you're right. That's what it was.
Yeah, that's all it was.
God said thirst trap.
So you just read about my new check coming in.
You read about all these other companies I've invested in,
and I want to send a thirst trap to you.
That's all it was.
All right.
Well, the only issue he's having right now is with Khalees.
She wants to become a Colombian farmer and wants to take their son with her to Colombia.
She wants to be a Colombian farmer.
What is a Colombian farmer?
A farmer in Columbia.
Oh.
What do they produce, cocaine?
That is absolutely awful for you to say that.
It's Columbia.
Okay, you don't think that they have other things like coffee?
You're right, you're right.
Coffee beans?
You're right.
All right, well, he's saying that's a huge violation of their custody agreement and all of that.
And, of course, he doesn't want his son all the way into Columbia.
He says that she's already withdrawn their son, Knight, from his
private school in LA and is currently
homeschooling their kid in Columbia.
You can't just do that. No, you can't just
do that. That's why you got two parents.
You gotta make neutral decisions
for our kid. And Ludacris has
just posted that Fast and
Furious 9 is coming. Now he
did a post on his Instagram page,
hashtag F9 April 10th, 2020.
So for all you fans of that franchise,
it's coming out on April 10th.
All right, and Travis Scott, according to TI,
he believes that Travis Scott's decision to perform
at Super Bowl's halftime show is selfish.
Here's what he had to say.
I think Aaron Mayer have an opportunity where,
you know what I'm saying, he can
make a decision for himself
or he can be selfless. And
nobody can tell someone when to
be selfless. This ain't something that
he wanted to be selfless
about. You know, hopefully in the
future we'll see other moments where
he will. Alright, so it's his right. Sometimes
you can be selfish. Yeah, and you can look at it the
other way too. It's selfish for people to
tell Travis Scott not to perform at
the Super Bowl. That's why he said nobody could tell him
what to do or what not to do. He said
he feels it's a selfish decision, but it's
his own decision. Yes, and once
again, it's different paths
to liberation. Like Travis Scott
made them donate half a million dollars
to Van Jones Dream Corps. Dream Corps is
really out there helping people.
So why are you mad at Travis Scott?
Let everybody do what they got to do, man.
It's different ways of liberation.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow.
And also...
On Saturday?
Well, we'll see you on Monday.

Oh, happy birthday, Dramos.

Put the mic in his beard real quick.
Put the mic in his beard.
What's up?
How are you, Dramos? I'm doing well, thank you. Happy birthday. Whose candle are you blowing out tonight? Let's see. I don't know. That's what you got to ruin my birthday. Put the mic in his beard real quick. Put the mic in his beard. What's up? How are you, Drum?
I'm doing well, thank you.
Happy birthday.
Whose candle are you
blowing out tonight?
I don't know.
You guys ruined my birthday
for me?
I can't have one today?
I'm trying to make
your birthday lit.
I don't want you to know.
I'm good.
Thank you for having me.
That's it.
Do you want to blow
out his candle, Charlamagne?
No.
You don't want his beard
to catch on fire.
I know he got some type
of creams in there.
It's flammable.
Happy Born Day, Drum.
All right.
Drum is the guy that when you look at the YouTube videos and y'all keep saying,
Damn, Dancing Dane works at the Breakfast Club.
That's Dramos.
That's Dramos.
Dancing Dramos.
Well, today is also Alicia Keys' birthday.
Happy Born Day, A. Keys.
Happy Birthday, A. Keys.
So let's get on some A. Keys music in the mix.
And she's hosting the Grammys this year.
That's right.
So happy Birthday, A. Keys. What up,'s get on some A-Keys music in the mix. And she's hosting the Grammys this year. That's right. So happy birthday, A-Keys.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
And again, shout out to everybody that came out to our 100th episode of our podcast.
We did it last night.
We took over the whole town, which was amazing for a podcast.
Since it was our 100th episode, we only invited 100 people.
It was a great turnout.
People flew in from Houston, from Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Florida, California to be part of it.
We appreciate you guys.
It's such an amazing time.
Shout to Naima.
Shout to the whole Remy Martin staff. Thank you guys
so much. Thank you to the TAL staff.
Diz, what's up? We had such an incredible
time. So shout to all you guys
for joining us. And it's a podcast
that we do about our relationship. And we talk about everything
about our relationship. The good, the
bad, the ugly. And we just get a chance
to talk to people about their relationships, young
and old. And we just go back and forth
and just give us a dialogue
and we help each other out.
So thank you for everybody to come out.
Thank you for First Choice, DJ First Choice,
for DJing.
It was such an amazing event.
Thank you guys so much.
First Choice gets mad
because I was telling him
he has like a Jay-Z face.
He does.
He do got a Jay-Z face.
He does have a Jay-Z face.
He'd be like, all right, enough.
He definitely could be a carter.
He gets busy, though.
He definitely gets busy.
Also, a shout to Amanda Seals for stopping through earlier today.
I will be watching Amanda Seals.
I'll be knowing at 10 p.m. on HBO tomorrow night,
even though I was at the actual taping.
I want to see how it plays out on television,
but we all need to gather around and watch that as a family.
Absolutely.
See, the thing with Amanda, man, that intrigues me so much
is just the fact that it's always surreal to, like, watch your people come up. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, I mean, I guess you it to go early on in her career, but she kept it moving
always. That's part of the process, though.
You go through those. I've been fired four times
from radio. That happens. That's all part
of the story. It makes your book better at the end of
the day. It does. It just makes
your book and your movie better later on in life.
Salute to Amanda Seals, man.
She deserves everything she's getting right now, and we will
be watching I Be Knowing tomorrow night
10 p.m. on HBO.
Okay.
And for everybody out in Detroit, I'm coming to Detroit actually right now.
I have a mixer that's happening today at Trust.
You've always mixed it.
The Detroit Dream Investment Solutions Opportunity Mixer.
So all of you people that are involved in real estate in Detroit, I will be out there today.
I also have a walkthrough at my property, which is coming along really nicely.
So I'm excited.
I have three properties in Detroit,
and one of them is on the market that I think is about to sell,
and then two other ones that I've been working on.
But, you know, I love the city of Detroit, and I think there's a lot of opportunity there.
And we did this mixer a couple of months ago,
and it went so well that we're doing another one.
Nice.
So if you're in Detroit, come on out to Trust.
Okay.
All right, well, Charlamagne, when we come back,
we got the positive note.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne, you got a positive note?
Yes, man.
You know, I've been giving y'all quotes from the four agreements all week.
My man, Don Miguel Ruiz.
I mean, I don't really know him, but he's my man in my head.
I was like, wow.
I thought he was friends with Don Miguel Ruiz.
He's my man in my head because I read so much of his stuff.
But this is from the four agreements.
Express your own divinity.
This is from the always do your best agreement.
You don't need the acceptance of others.
You don't need knowledge or great philosophical concepts.
You have the right to be you, and you express your own divinity
by being alive and by being loving of yourself and others.
Breakfast club, bitches!
You all finished or you all done?
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that? Bullets.
